THE WAY TO BOON.

The Atchison (Kansas) Globe,
which has had much experience in
booming, gives the following peril
nent directions: "lf you want your
town to improve, improve it. If you
want to make your town lively, make
it. Don't go to sleep, but get up and
work for it. Push. Advertise it.
Talk about it, and talk favorably. If
you have any property, improve it.
Paint your houses; clean up your
back yard. Make your surroundings
pleasant, and you will feel better, and
your property will be worth more dol
lars in the market. If you are doing
reasonably we'll, advise your far-away
friends to come and invest near you.
Work steadily for your home place
and home interests, Trade at home !;
help your home dealers. Keep your
money at home as much as possible,
and 1T is likely to help you in return.
The successful towns of Kansas have
been made successful by the property
owners pulling together. Public i'm
provement is an investment that pays.
Don't waste your time over some
dirty neighborhood quarrel, and hold
back your aid from some good object
through spite, but work for some
good, and you will find yourself ben

SOMETHING TO LAUGH At,

The following item from the Sal,
mon City Recorder will be amusing
to those who are familiar with the
facts:
Frank Harding, formerly proprietor
of the Haley News Miner, but now
in charge of the HALEY TIMES dur
ing its editors absence, humorously
says:
"The people of Minneapolis pro.
pose to spoil the child, and have pass
ed law forbidding the use of the
rod. The convincing twig of birch
has given way to moral suasion and
the 'schoolmarm" is ordered to hang
up the strap with which she was wont
to make things warm and develop a
boys mind without blister,ng his.
It's great thing to be boy, nova
days, for it was not always thus"
Now, Frank drop on the boy rack
ct, and tell US some of those big deer
yarns. We are informed that Mr..
Harding's son is soon to marry a
HALEY sohoolmarm named "Gallup."
Dangerous daughter in-law, Frank.

OUR SPECIAL SERVICE.

The TIMES has made arrangements
with syndicate OF Eastern journalists
of national reputation and of ac-
knowledged excellence in their lines
OF work, for special service of two
to six columns daily, of matter Of gen.
eral interest. For instance, Frank
q. Carpenter, the brightest and most
reliable Washington correspondent,
will write about politics and poll
ticians, as he sees them at the nation
al capital; Joaquin Miller, the poet,
will tell of sights to be seen in the
newer and most picturesque portions
of border-!and, ard may even be in.
duced to "do" the Shoshone Falls and
Red Fish Lakes; Octy Cohen, the
sporting editor, will supply the latest
news OF the turf, field and other
sports; while large staff Of writer's
and artists will contribute some of
their best productions.
This will doubtless prove a very
attractive feature of the TIMES, and
60 long way toward making it what
its owner would like to make it, to-
wit: irst-class newspaper of general,
instead of only local, interest.
